Leaves drooping 2 days after water

My hydro systems are ph controlled, auto fill and all drain at the turn of 2 valves. After I drain I come back the next day and add my nutrients.

Do what ever works for ya, it sounds like a nice setup.


Wow, you guys are all high tech lol, i just poor the water and walk away, if i ever did more than a few id be in pain
I'm just lazy lol, that and it's nice to leave for the weekend and not stress about watering ect. Plus in flowering they drink so much it's hard to keep up pot size depending.

Yeah i went away for 4 days and came home to this 20161009_093053.jpg

Bounced back just fine, but didnt need to do it to her, gotta figure somethin out for the future...
 
you would be way better off in 2-3 gallon pots....you can hit an elbow in a 3 gallon....to use coco to it's potential, small pots n multiple feedings per day. push them bitches! or u can treat it like soil n get so-so results.

The guys I was copying with this coco grow started with 10s, then 15s and is now at 20s and have every time increased his overall yeild by going with bigger pots . He was in the 10 pound range off 4,000w of de lights he now sees 12.5 pounds off the same lights using 20gallon pots
 
Id love to be set loose to grow a big ass outdoor monster in a raised coco bed, maybe some day...(hangs head in sadness, then self)

I don't want to think about cleaning the roots out of 20 gallons of coco lol. I would outsource that sht! I reuse my coco.
 
If i had to hand water even once a day I would pull my hair out. If I went through setting up drip rings and reservoir I would just build another rdwc to replace the coco. Do You still have to chill your reservoir for your drip rings Bubblin?

I didn't plan on reusing the coco. I was gonna toss it in the back 40 and replace with new. The botanicare blocks did about 20-22gallon worth of pots, i think I used 9 blocks to do 14 pots. The blocks ran $11 a piece if I recall corrrctly

For coco @ drip rings nope, I don't chill anything any more! :)

The pump/s only runs for a minute or two every few hours, so there's really no additional heat being recirculated / added to the water. I also toss an air stone in the res but it's mostly to keep things mixed, but the aeration is nice too ;)

That must be nice
Lol. I run 3.5 ton water chiller to do my dirty work. That cools my veg room, flower room and keeps my reservoirs at 65-68 degrees, veg room at 76 degrees and flower room at 80-81 degrees, I also cool my 8 burner generator and aprilair 1850 dehumidifier with it.

I figured you must have a large chiller setup, that's a lot o water and pump power. It's a sweeet setup m8.
